I don't agree with that. Kid just wants to play and is a fierce competitor. Don't forget he can use his redshirt next year as his 1 yr. transfer sit out. Also, no one will ever know what he was told when he commited to UT, IF anything. I just can't place any blame on a 19 yr old wanting to fulfill his dreams.

Snead came in after the first offensive drive against Kansas State. I thought you lose your reshirt after 3 quarters of play. Am i wrong? What is the rule?

[kaorder1999]

so this year will count as a year of competition for him and then he can use his redshirt next year while having to sit out for transferring? I didnt realize you could do that

you dont have to tag someone as being red shirted during the season. If they dont play a snap all season then at the end of the season you can red shirt them. You can though not suit up someone all year for the purpose of red shirting them

He ran away from his verbal to Florida because they signed another great freshman qb and he didnt want to have to compete. he thought he could waltz in and beat out McCoy, so now he is running from UT.

I think he is loking at TCU and some other schools. Whoever doesnt have an entrenched starter is where he will go. Unless that starter is a SR.

He is gone and so are the others. Time for everyone to move on. Remember bowl games are coming.

The rule is you have 5 years to play 4. A redshirt year can be used while sitting out the transfer year too. That is what Snead will do if he goes D1-A to D1-A (if he goes down a level he does NOT have to sit out at all, like D1-AA, etc.). Medical redshirts are totally different & must be approved by the NCAA.

Redshirt rules changed a few years ago. It used to depend on # of plays & what point in the season the kid played (like 1st 4 games). Now, if you play at all you burn the redshirt year. Snead was never going to redshirt at Texas anyway due to lack of depth at QB. He played throughout the year some. Hope that helps.
